"John and Kim were recommended to us so we had them give us a quote which in turn was more than reasonable on painting 2 rooms in the house and they painted those 2 rooms for us. Once we seen the skill and professionalism they put into the job we immediately ask them to another 2 rooms. Now spring is here and we have hired again to paint another 2 large rooms and please keep in mind we have cathedral ceilings in all the rooms they have painted and also in 2 rooms they will paint next week. We highly recommend them for painting like I stated they have the knowledge, skill and professionalism also last but not least they they do a great clean up job when they are done. They are good people and can be trusted!"

I have over 20 years of experience in construction, with my main focus now being interior painting. I also have experience with exterior painting, all types of flooring, drywall, siding, and many other construction projects. I take pride in putting my clients first, paying close attention to detail, and making sure every job is done right. I’m confident in my work and have the experience to handle just about any construction project, with the exception of plumbing, electrical, and HVAC. My goal is always to provide quality work and leave every customer completely satisfied. Thank you for considering me for your next project!

"Assured quality did an amazing job with remodeling my home. The original work in the home was terrible from the paint to the trim. Assured quality made sure I noticed the difference and was so detail oriented! I will be sure to call Juan again if I ever need any further renovations done in my house!"

"We had Chavez Masonry complete a rebuilt of a collapsed chimney in the attic and restored the outside portion. They were responsive, courteous and prompt. Very impressed with their work and their cleanup. I saw this as a difficult project but they completed without a problem. They even held to the quote after it was discovered the the repair was going to more extensive than we originally thought. We would definitely use them again."

Painting FAQs, answered by experts

Manufacturers use a different process and formula for exterior paint versus interior. The exterior formula has to withstand elements like temperature, UV lighting, moisture, wind, and debris. Interior paint doesn’t need to be as tough, only exposed to dust, scratches, dents, scuff marks, and the like.

Yes, you can and should paint or stain pressure-treated wood to help prevent the boards from cracking. However, you must wait for the wood to dry out completely before applying any finish. Freshly treated wood can take weeks or even months to dry; a common recommendation is to wait three to six months. To check if the wood is ready, perform a simple water test: drip some water onto the surface. If the water beads up, the wood is still too wet and needs more time to dry. If the wood absorbs the water, it is dry enough to be painted or stained. You can proceed with building your deck or fence while the wood is still wet, but you will need to wait to apply the paint or stain.

Regular cleaning, touch-ups for small defects, and resealing or repainting every 2-3 years help to maintain a vibrant appearance and protection.

Yes, you can waterproof any wood that has not already been treated. A good way to test this is to splash some water on it. If the water starts to bead up, the wood is treated and most likely doesn’t need another coating.

Wood stain does go bad, but it will last in the can for between three and six years, provided you use proper storage techniques. Storing wood stain in open containers or in extremely low or high temperatures will cause your wood stain to become unusable much more quickly. Water- and latex-based wood stains typically last for just two to four years, while oil-based wood stains can last for three to six years.
